ROOKIE netminder Phil Crosby produced the Freeze’s first shutout of the season as they effectively sealed third place in ENIHL North Two with victory in the Midlands last night.

Although Mike Martin’s men have no chance of going up, they swept aside their fourth-placed hosts with first-period goals from Ric Hughes and leading points-scorer James Parsons (2) which were set up Steve Elliott, Rob Griffin, Garry Dixon (2), Chris Jones and Martin Barta.
